2017, International Journal of Nursing StudiesCitation Excerpt :In a study from the USA, midwives reported that 35% had a malpractice claim against them at least once in their career (Xu et al., 2008) and among obstetrician/gynaecologists, that number was 76%, confirming differences in the liability and insurance systems (Hale, 2006). Patient safety programmes are receiving increased attention, including the awareness that healthcare workers who are exposed to severe events and subsequent complaints or investigation procedures can be so badly impacted that it affects their ability to perform at work (Pinto et al., 2013; Waterman et al., 2007; Sirriyeh et al., 2010; Fahrenkopf et al., 2008; West et al., 2006; Mizrahi, 1984; Ullström et al., 2014). Findings in our study show, however, that severe events are experienced by a considerable proportion of midwives and obstetricians during their working life.
